Cherokee Nation Businesses Lays Out Reopening Plan

Cherokee Nation Businesses has announced their plan to reopen some businesses under their new "responsible hospitality" plan.

The plan includes guidelines for the nation's casinos, golf courses, restaurants and live entertainment. Guests and employees will be required to wear masks and undergo a quote "noninvasive" temperature check. There will be fewer hours and a plan to allow for physical distancing.

Brandon Scott, the director of communications with Cherokee Nation Businesses, said those involved in a reopening plan are going to be looking hard at the number of cases of COVID-19 where their businesses are located.

"A big part of it is, after you've planned continuing to keep your eye on an ever evolving scenario," Scott said.

The detailed plan can be found here.
